Things that goes up always come down
Definitions:
Non-contact force: A force that can act on an object without touching it.
Contact force: A force that needs to touch an object to act on it.
Gravity: Gravity is a force that attracts objects toward each other.

Question and Answer

1. Who discovered force of gravity?
Ans: Sir Isaac Newton discovered force of gravity.
2. Why are the gravities of a planets or stars different?
Ans: The bigger the planet or star, the bigger is the force of gravity it has.
3. Write Newton’s first law of motion.
Ans: Newton’s 1st law of motion: Objects continue doing what they are doing
unless other forces speed them up or slow them down.
4. Write Newton’s second law of motion.
Ans: Newton’s 2nd law of motion: Heavier objects need more force to move
them.
5. Write Newton’s third law of motion.
Ans: Newton’s 3rd law of motion: Whenever an object pushes another object
it gets pushed back in the opposite direction equally hard.
6. When and where was Sir Isaac Newton born?
Ans: Sir Isaac Newton was born around 380 years ago in England.
